I'm using Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 2.0. I have an events list that I created, with the intention of creating a web part that will display only current events on the home page (omitting all past events). I was amazed to find that the built in "Current Events" view did this for me, as when I looked to the settings for this view I saw no filtering involved, so I assume it's hard coded somehow? Unfortunately, I already have some Events lists where I've customized the types of views, and deleted the default "current events" view. How can I retrieve this w/out re-creating the list, and what potential scenarios would anyone have experienced using this view where it wouldn't work as described.
-Thanks in advance,
Bill

wyoung,
The default view is only an aspx page with a few web part configuration choices. You should be able to create a new view based on "standard."
Pick the following columns to show:
Recurrence
Attachments
Workspace
Item Title (linked to item with edit menu)
Location
Start Time
End Time

If I understand correctly, wyoung is talking about the "current items" view, not the default view. And I would also say that the date filter is "hardcoded" and would be very complicated to re-create (assuming that you need to take into account recurrent events).
The only other view that would do something similar is a calendar view.Christophe

I took another look at this. The MyItems.aspx page is the default Current Events view. That page is missing the Sort section in configuration.
If you go to the list settings and create a view, you should see this at the bottom:
Start from a view template
Current EventsName it MyItems and it should work exactly like the one you deleted.

Nice one Paul!
I wonder why this template is not with the others in the first section of the create view page...

Thanks for all the posts on this one. For some reason I do not see:
"Start from a view template
Current Events"
as an option when creating a new view. I have the option to create a Standard, Datasheet, and Calendar view(s). I am not able to redirect the site to use the MyItems.aspx page once the view is created. Any thoughts?Posted 4 months ago # -
Did you scroll down to the page bottom, as Paul suggested? This is where I found it, not with the other templates...
